  • Publication number: 20200066049
    Abstract: A virtual reality (VR) system for providing engagement of a super actor with a plurality of user actors and enabling interaction and collaboration between the user actors in association with interactive content in a VR environment. A processing system provides logic and control operations, networking functionalities and content management services directly to the super actor and user actors within a group and the particular interactive content associated with that group. Each of the devices are configurable to activate a package comprising data technically describing one or more discrete virtual worlds. This data comprises a prescribed array of items corresponding to different item types, where each virtual world is customised with items to provide prescribed functionality to the particular actor and to the particular content to be associated with the virtual world.
